Paul Newman was and is one of the most iconic cool guys that ever lived. In American cool culture he is right up there with James Dean, Steve McQueen and Robert Redford.

Mr. Blue Eyes

Paul Newman was known for having the most famous blue eyes and once said jokingly:

"If my eyes should ever turn brown, my career is shot to hell."

Paul Newman Daytona Fatstrap Revelations

An Exclusive Look At Paul Newman's FatstrapOriginally Published on April 18, 2012

Paul Newman had extremely iconic style and taste, and in the photos above we took a look at how he was a timeless fashion icon. Now let's take a look at his wrist style.Beginning in 1972 he wore his now iconic Rolex Daytona on a Fatstrap. The image below is exclusive to Jake's Rolex World and it is, as they say "The Money Shot." In other words, it is the most definitive shot of Paul Newman wearing his namesake, trademark Paul Newman Daytona with an exotic white dial. In this photo, Paul Newman is wearing his Paul Newman Daytona on an Alligator Fatstrap, but what kind of Fatstrap? Where did he get it? and most importantly, what is the actual shape of it?

For the first time ever, the answer to question has been delivered, as we see in the photo of Paul Newman below–sporting his now trademark Fatstrap. This is the clearest photo, that shows the EXACT shape of his fatstrap.

Here is another photo from the same photo shoot. I have not had a chance to add these to my definitive "The Complete History Of The Paul Newman Daytona" yet, but I will in the future. In the meantime, remember, you saw them on Jake's Rolex World first.

INSIDE ROLEX

Historically Rolex has always been extremely secretive and discreet, and no journalists in the past have ever been invited "INSIDE ROLEX" to explore and report on all four Rolex Manufacturing faclities in Switzerland.

In November 2013, this changed when Rolex invited Jake to take an unprecdented journey into the heart of Rolex to learn and report on everything he witnessed and learned.

This Super-Detailed 3 Part Story is a "MUST READ" story for anybody who wants to understand what really makes Rolex tick.
